Friday, May 23, 2008 Hoosier 100 Optional Tour Times: 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm Gear up for the Hoosier 100. This exciting evening will take you to the Indiana State Fairgrounds for some stand on the petal, wheel to wheel excitement. USAC Silver Crown midget car racing, with 700 horsepower, around an oval track, is sure to bring your adrenaline up and a great way to start your engines for an all out revved up weekend. The Silver Crown cars are 1500 pound, traditionally styled, front engine cars that were originally intended for the dirt surfaces of the famous one-mile dirt tacks such as the Indiana State Fairgrounds, along with the Springfield and DuQuoin fairgrounds in Illinois. Until these cars were given their own series in 1971, they competed as part of the National Championship Trail, which included the Indianapolis 500. Today these cars put on exciting shows at paved tracks across the nation in addition to the traditional dirt miles that are so integral to the history of open-wheel racing. Versatility is the key to success in this series as it makes regular appearances at 1/2-mile dirt and 5/8-mile paved tracks to 1-mile dirt and 1.2-mile paved tracks. Silver Crown races are longer in distance than other USAC open wheel division races and distances are usually 100 miles or 100 laps, depending on the track. To compete in USAC’s premier series is the pinnacle for many American open-wheel competitors and to win the Championship is a prestigious milestone in any driver’s career. Previous Champions include Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman, Mario Andretti, A. J. Foyt and Al Unser Sr. Package Cost Includes: Includes: Bus transportation, parking fees & General admission tickets to the Hoosier 100 Package Price: Price includes: $50.00 per Adult $35.00 per Child (age 14 and under) Package Requirements: Payment in full due when signing up.
